How Do I Create a Hot Key for "Create Subfolder Inside of this Folder?"

Hey gang. I'd love to create a keyboard shortcut that would put a subfolder inside of whatever folder i have selected.


I know this somehow involved Automator...I'm green at this. Can anyone talk me through it?

Using Automator, create a "Quick Action" assuming you are on Mojave or newer. On older macOS versions, you create a "Service" in Automator. This webpage may help

Once you have a Quick Action (or service you are happy with)

System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Services

Find your Quick Action (or service name)

click on the 'none' item on the right and assign a keyboard shortcut.
